Nicht ganz so spannend wie das erste Buch und leider etwas vorhersehbar. Hat trotzdem Spaß gemacht zu lesen.

Most of the characterization was on (save, perhaps, for Tuvok), and the book continues the story from Homecoming right where it left off - but I think a little momentum was lost. B'Elanna Torres's story was good, but it could hardly have been more incongruous with the rest of the book. Voyager has been cursed with the ability to make even Borg stories lackluster in the past - and it carries that tradition on through this book. Also, the reader becomes keenly aware that television-friendly effects, like holograms assuming the forms of others, is a whole 'nother ball game in the written form. All in all, though, a cozy read. If you like Voyager, you'll like it. I do, in a guilty pleasure way, despite forever wondering when Harry Kim's character will start to develop. Maybe after another decade of stories or so :)

I enjoyed book 1 of this 2-part series, but this one stretched out the story lines for too long. It was boring in parts, and I found myself not caring about what happened. It also had some pretty dark and problematic scenes. DNF'ing this, and going to try Full Circle.

3.5 stars. It’s a fun read but it’s not a great book. Another pass by an editor would have gone a long way. That said, if you were left dissatisfied by the Voyager series finale this duology does fill in some gaps.

More about the author's bland OCs than actual Voyager characters.
